I've got a set of Pagid "blue" compound pads waiting in the garage for a little warm weather to be installed (prior to next year's DE season). These are supposed to be the "performance street/track" compound pads, reputed to create less brake dust than stock, to boot. I picked these up when my front discs took on an image of the pads' outline following the last few laps of a track event (looked like someone dipped the pad in stamp ink and pressed it on the discs). This has since mostly worn off and the brakes are still performing fine after ~8K more miles.

These pads were ~$160 for the 2 wheel set from Paragon Products in TX (free Ate Super Blue DOT 4 fluid included and reasonable shipping charge).

Will let the board know how they perform, once I finally get them on the car!

BTW, I'm also installing some HAWK performance pads on my daily driver Subaru which are supposed to be similar in application to the Pagid Blue pads and am installing Brembo discs all around at the same time. Call me crazy, but I'm going to have the fastest 60-0 car that can barely make it from 0-60 soon ! This will be happening sooner than the Boxster, as they really *need* to be done.
